Pretty disappointed to write this review as this bar has been mine and my boyfriend’s favorite to watch the games at. We came to watch the Giants game and got there 20 min before the game started. Towards the end of the game we were asked to leave and would not be served anymore drinks. We were confused because we had ordered food and spread 3 shots and 1 drink over the course of almost 3 hours. My boyfriend was literally sober because we had been there for a while and also ordered food. Female bartender also banged down the bathroom door twice when I went to the restroom. I was in there less than 3 min and someone was brutally beating the door in. Exited the restroom and ask the man sitting at the table in front of the door if he had done that. He said no it was the female bartender (the one who made us leave). She also wasn’t even the one serving us. Our bartender who usually is there and is a reason we come back to this place (glasses and beard) was taking care of us. My boyfriend noticed throw up in the other bathroom and thought maybe they thought that had been us? Either way the woman was rude and we weren’t even drunk. I’ve been in there where guys are literally throwing down and fighting and they are still being served drinks. Unfortunate, but we...

Read morePros: this is an awesome dive bar with friendly enough service.
Cons: deceptive pricing practices.
Experience: I was pretty excited to find a place with decent happy hour pricing (ex: cheese curds for $7 and the fried combo platter for $13). I wasn't provided a menu, so I showed the sole bartender what I wanted on the site.
The food came and was the wrong order (cheese curds and the house made hummus plate). Mistakes happen, so no worries.
Unfortunately, when the bill came, I was charged $15 for the cheese curds and $20 for the fried combo platter. Additionally, there was an additional SF mandate of 5%. (Shoutout to https://www.seefees.ca/ for bringing transparency here to these deceptive restaurant pricing practices).
I asked the server (who just hopped on shift) why the pricing was so high, and she confirmed that the happy hour time was right, but that the pricing on the website was wrong. Then she told me she would tell the owner, and left.
What should've been an easy afternoon experience was now made a little bitter by these deceptive pricing practices. I had high hopes for this place as my neighborhood hangout spot, but...
